THE ETIQUETTE OF ALBANIA.
Filtration Unknown and Love Making
Eorbidden-Ihe Marriage Ceremonie.

Filtration Unknown and Love Making
Forbidden-The Marriage Ceremonies.
The dress of the Albanian women is
ungallantly described by travellers a.
hideOus. 1t is said to b. of thick mate
rial and shapeless; leather band encir-
Giles the waist, and usually "A little black
cloak is thrown over the shoulders. But
the wearers are the most beautiful women
of eastern Europe, and their manners al
ways gracious.
Filtration is unknown, and even the
most decOrous love making forbidden.
The proper thing Is for the lover never
to see his intended till their marriage
day. She has been carefully secluded in
the recesseS of her home till her parents
think she is old enough to be married.
Having arrived at this conclusion, they
announce the fact: if the mere announce
ment is of no avail, they adopt strong
measures. The lady IS brother will politely
come up to friend in the street and
pleasantly remark: You are Just the fell
low L wanted to see. My sister Is II
years old; you must marry her. ~
No Albanian who respects himself re
jects the proposal of his friend; in fact,
he regards it as an honor, and knows
that a refusal means duel to the death.
have a morbid curiosity regarding his
friends sisters personal appearance, and
then he has recourse To the inevitable old
woman. the entrcmetteuse in the true
sense of the word. whose profession Is
to intervene in such cases. She calls ON
the bride, inspecti her. and then returns
10 the expectant swain with a detailed
account of the young lady's qualities, of
course colorcd in proportion to the fee
sheiIas received. Then the wedding day
is fixed, and at last tine happy pair are
face to face.
The etiquette of Albania requires the
bridegroom To he coy and reluctant; it is
considered degrading 10 his dignity to af-
feet any tenderness for the fair sex, and
therefore he is bound to offer strong re-
sistance to her approach In marked
cOntradistinctiOn to the usual marriage
ceremonies, which point To a capture of
the bride, the Albanian customs Indicate
a capture of tine bridegroom, and Yet the
whole race displays a degree of contempt
for women which Is not found in the
most barbarOus nations. 1t Is worthy of
remark, salsO, that in every family the
males usually go to the mosque, the fe-
males to church.-Forcign Letter.

And loves embalned in tears
To loves embalmed in tears my friend,
Where only smiles once shone,
Well drink the loves of other days
And call them still our own

ONCE AGAIN.

There are; in this mornings HERALD,
two letters from residents of the Dry
Bench" These letters are published
that nowrong may be done the people
living IN that part of the city, for the
presumption is fair that they voice the
sentiments of more than the writers.
We have but little to say Oh the subject,
and it is this: We draw the line on
these communications. We do not say
no more communications on this sub
ie ct shall be allowed to appear; but if
they do, the tone will be more temperate
and the spirit more agreeable to truth
Mr.. Culmer makes a serious mistake
when he says there are those who con-
tend that the Dry Benchers," when
they DO ght their land from the city s,
did so with the express understanding
that we were not to have any water
upon it." The contention is not as
Mr.. Culmer puts it. The fact is that
these lands were sold by the city with
the express understanding that they
possessed no water rights; not that
they should never have water given
them. This talk about cheating" and
"rights" and representatives, is il
the main so much nonsense. The City
Council is elected to do the will of the
citizens of Salt Lake City, and it is not
pledged to accept the wishes of Dry
Benchers" as the desires Of all citizens.
We have already stated that if the
"Dry Benchers' have rights, there
can be no possible doubt as to
the courts securing these rights
to them. The fact is that only
the absence of rights keep the DRY
Benchers" from prosecuting their claims
in court. The wisdom of giving water
to the north bench, and the right of
north benchers to the water now flow
ing into Salt Lake, are two very differ
ent matters. The humanitarian aspect
of the case, on which Mr.. Osborne re-
lies, should be grave consideration in
all human affairs, and more particu-
larry in a community like this; but un-
fortunately humanity and governmental

STATEHOOD AND MIR. vAR1AN.

c. S. Varian has written a second let
ter to the Tribune which is a reply to
George T. Curtis statement that sit is
perfectly competent for a new State,
when it enters the Union, to make a
compact with the United States limiting
the States sovereignty in Certain res
pects."
In the course of his letter Mr.. Varian
asserts several principles, which, if we
correctly apprehend the force of his ar
.uments, are the fundamental PROPOSE
tons upon which he relies in differing
from Mr.. Curtis.
F.rS5-He asserts:
mo people can legislate for all time
and make their legislation irrepeslable.
To do SO would be to invade the right OF
self-government. The generation to
come has the same right to judge for it
self in regard to legislation necessary
for its comfort and protection, as the
present."
Is this so? That one legislature can
not bind subsequent legislature by
statutory enactment is an admitted
principle of law, but like most general
rules 1t has an exception, which, in this
case, is that no legislature may violate
the statutory contracts of its predeces-
sor. And in the United States we find,
similarly, that while the broad principle,
that the people may at all times change
their institutions at will, is true, it is
open to certain exceptions and qualifi-
cations. For instance, no amendment to
he Constitutions is valid unless ratified
by two thirds of the States; from which
it results that any less number of States,
even a majority, may wish certain
changes but will wish in vain. That is
the entire people of any particular

concession precedent to admission, and
then have so little power that the new
State might turn around, rescind the
condition and laugh in its face.
Fourth-A State having the right to
propose a proper condition, and Con-
gress. having the right to accept It, IL
must follow that remedy exists some
where 10 enforce the contract thus
made. It is a maxim of law that there
is no right without remedy" An
drew Jackson was prepared to raise the
entire force of the United States to
compel South Carolina to succumb If
she persisted in her notification OF
Constitutional laws. And it is obvious
that whatever agencies, legal or mill
tary, the general government may
employ in compelling State to respect
the Constitution, may be employed by
it in compelling a State to respect lts
charter contract. The right of Congress
to admit States implies its right to in
sist upon reasonable conditions which In
turn, carries with it the right to enforce
such conditions. The other view, that
Congress may insist upon reasonable
conditions precedent to admission
which conditions may be ct once en-
voked, without national remedy, IS alb
surd.
In view of what we had to say sew
eraI days ago. coupled with the torego-
ing, we conclude that the views are not
unreasonable that Congress is clothed
with a sacred trust to bring every Ter
ritory into tie Union, having the re-
quisite qualifications, that requests ad
mission under a republican form OF
government; that Q tab has the peces-
sary qualifications, and submits fault
less constitution; that she has bound
herself by a proper condition, which
Congress may properly accept, and
afterwards enforce, if its violation be
attempted.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-09-11
WE HAVE

Prospects for colossal boom.
We have proposals to split up the
blocks of the city and to make addi-
tons to it also.
We have more more stable mines and
greater numbers than any State or Ter
ritory.
We have one railroad coming into
Salt Lake, sure; and one going out
even more surely, which will not stop
until its smoke o'ershadoWs the waves
of the Pacific.
We have a Chamber Of Commerce
which proposes, with the assistance
of business men generally, to force rail-
roads to recognize the fact that they
have long enough plucked the feathers
of Utah.
We have a glorious climate, mineral
springs of infinite value, boundless
mineralre sources, an agricultural basis
unequalled, the best bathing in the
world.
We have an unrivalled country, and
all things to make US proud and HAPPY.
Yet the trail of the serpent is over
us all"
We have the sewerest "sewer organ"
in the world.

THE VETERANS.

The Veteran Frsmen of New York :,
with their wives, daughters snd associ-
ates, will reach Salt Lake to-day. 1t is
pleasing to nots the preparations that
have been made to receive the corps
Less than these would have shown our
city lacking the courtesy for which she
is noted. Among the men whom we
will have the privilege to honor for the
three days, are many that have reached
prominence in the metropolis Of
the United States. This dem
onstrates that fireman can
climb to the top of more
ladders than that which he WAS wont to
pull to fires in the early days OF
Gotham. We rejoice in their success in
life, but despite the callings and the
responsibilities that later years may
have brought to them, no trust was
ever greater than. that one, self-imposed,
of saving property and the life OF
fellow beings at the risk Of their own.
They are of the .life-saVing corps, and
while many rough exterior was pre-
sented in those early days, time has
shown that hearts of gold beat beneath
their primitive uniforms.
We do we'll to honor them. Our fair
city and attractive surroundings will
not be viewed by eyes more welcome,
nor will the Inequalities of Salt Lake
be extended with more heart, nor
given to those more worthy than to the
Veteran Firemen of New York.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-09-11

We HAVE another evidence of des-
elimination against Salt Lake. The re-
Gently advertised emigrant rate between
Denver and Los Angeles was $50. The
rate from Salt Lake to Los Angeles at
the same time was $32 This was a
clear violation of the long and short
haul clause of the interstate law. The
attention of Central Pacific officials was
called to the violation by local rail-
way company, and the rate from Salt
Lake to Los Angeles was forthwith re-
duced to $50. So it costs an emigrant
as much to go to Los Angeles from Salt
as from Denver.
